Level:** + +- **DEBUG**: Method calls, state changes, timing information, execution flow +- **INFO**: Important events (new content detected, sounds played, operations completed) +- **WARNING**: Recoverable issues (fallbacks, missing optional features, server incompatibilities) +- **ERROR**: Serious problems (network failures, invalid data, system errors) +- **CRITICAL**: Fatal issues that prevent operation + +**Required Logging Areas:** + +1. **Auto-refresh System**: Timing, triggers, new content detection +2. **Sound Events**: Which sounds played, when, and why +3. **Network Operations**: API calls, streaming connections, failures +4. **User Actions**: Post composition, timeline navigation, settings changes +5. **Error Conditions**: All exceptions, fallbacks, and recovery attempts + +**Logging Patterns:** + +```python +# Method entry/exit for complex operations +self.logger.debug("method_name() called") +self.logger.debug("method_name() completed successfully") + +# State changes +self.logger.info(f"Timeline switched from {old} to {new}") + +# New content detection +self.logger.info(f"New content detected: {count} new posts") + +# Sound events +self.logger.info(f"Playing {sound_type} sound for {reason}") + +# Error handling with context +self.logger.error(f"Failed to {operation}: {error}") +``` + +**Never Use Print Statements:** +- All output should go through the logging system +- Print statements interfere with proper log formatting +- Use appropriate log levels instead of printing debug info + +### AI Development Benefits + +This logging system is crucial for AI-only development because: +- Provides complete visibility into application behavior +- Enables systematic debugging without human intervention +- Shows exact timing and causation of events +- Facilitates troubleshooting of complex interactions +- Maintains clean separation between debug and production modes + +## Documentation and Dependencies +- **README Updates**: When adding new functionality or sound events, update README.md with detailed descriptions +- **Requirements Management**: Check and update requirements.txt when new dependencies are added
